Pumpkin Banana Muffins
Pumpkins are in abundance this time of year. We love to grow our own then use them to make our own pumpkin puree. You can use the puree in many things like pumpkin pie or these delicious homemade pumpkin banana muffins. These freezer friendly muffins are easy to make and will make all your people happy on those busy weekdays when getting out of the house fast is important but everyone still wants to eat. Why do these people always want to eat?
Preparing the Pumpkin Banana Muffins
If you have a stand mixer, this recipe just got a whole lot easier. Mix all the wet ingredients in your stand mixer or just use a plain mixing bowl if you don’t have a stand mixer. Now, don’t get bogged down in making homemade puree. A can of pumpkin puree is just as good. If you get accidentally grab pumpkin pie filling then omit the spices. There’s always a work around.
Mix the dry ingredients in another bowl. Then go ahead and introduce the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix them all together until they know each other really well. At this point, gently fold in the chocolate chips. They don’t need to know the other ingredients as well. A quick mix is all that is needed.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. This recipe makes 12 muffins. Double it so you can have 2 muffins pans in the oven at the same time. I make another double batch while those are baking. Move the bottom pan up to the top shelf to finish cooking then put another pan on the bottom. I rotate those three pans in and out of the oven until I’m done making mix. You could quadruple the recipe in the beginning. I just know how time gets away from me so doubling it means they get done efficiently. Sometimes my bananas disappear too so that cuts my baking short.

You won’t regret spending time to get these muffins in the freezer. You could use canned sweet potatoes in place of the pumpkin too. Just don’t add as much sweetner or you will have kids bouncing off the walls. Add raisins instead of chocolate chips. The possibilities are endless. No matter what you do, you will be thankful you have some in the freezer.
